Hey Aaron, followed you since the bodyspace 08? nationals days! weird to see you as a pro now! what sort of number carbs do you generally run up to a comp, do you feel its necessary to feel really tired and worn out to get in shape?

Haha, is it weird? Well for the NY Pro I was eating about 400 carbs/day up to the show. I think the amount of carbs you need to consume is very dependent on how much you are training, how much cardio you're doing, and of course your genetic metabolism. Personally I don't do much loading/depleting with my carbs, but I do usually end up eating more during the last few days before the show in order to stay full. I try to keep things simple...

Aaron, I remember seeing you compete at the Maryland show a couple of years ago, I said to my buddy when you walked out, "Shit that guy won." Cool to see someone from the DMV doing well and congrats on the sponsorship with GEAR.

Thank you man! That show was my "testing the waters" show to get back into competitive bodybuilding... Glad I can represent the DMV!
